    Unfortunately no, at least not in our club. Nobody complains about the maintenance of stainless steel, let alone enough to coat the car in a product. This is the first time I’ve heard of this product. I don’t have an opinion for or against its use, but I know I wouldn’t use it. To each their...

    Your experience with Windex aligns with our experience. As we learned, the best product for quick maintenance is no product. Anyone who is trying to sell a product won’t tell you that. Regarding abrasive products and the DeLorean, it is grained. So, any scratches can be buffed out by “following...

    Agreed. I wash the cloths after one use. That information is for a reader who thinks you can seal a damp cloth in a ziplock bag and forget about it.

    First NHTSA recall for Cybertruck - Incorrect Font Size on Instrument Panel Warning Lights

    Really, font size! WTF. Remedy is an over the air software update. This reminds me of the meme that states owner's manuals in the 1950s used to instruct owners on how to set the points (ignition system). Nowadays owner’s manuals warn owners not to drink the battery acid.

    Thanks for the question. If the car is dirty, we wash them with any mild soap (Dawn, or an automotive car wash product without wax, etc.). Rinse well, and dry the panels right away. Don’t wash the vehicle in the direct sun, as the panels dry too quickly and spot. If you just need a quick wipe...

    BKF is great for an occasional detail, like every year if your CT sits outside in the elements. It is like a laser scrub for your face, as it removes the oxidation. I have only had to use it once on my DeLorean in my 11 years of ownership as the car is babied and is stored in a garage. Here it...

    OP: Just a piece of advice: You should follow the instructions on the BKF package: Soft Cleanser How to use BKF Soft Cleanser Shake well before using. Squeeze BKF onto wet surface or damp sponge. Rub onto soiled surface. Rinse thoroughly within one minute of application...

    Am I a celebrity?!?!? Regular guy, new Cybertruck owner.

    Thanks for the review. I tend to characterize The CT as the DeLorean of our generation: - looks futuristic - stainless steel - wedge “ folded paper” design - every outing in it seems like you are attending a one car car show Get used to the attention.

    I think the RPO codes are printed on the lower driver’s door jamb, at least for ICE trucks. There should be a QR code you can scan.

    Nice. Let us know your thoughts post return. I also have a reservation for one of those, (first 5 minutes of reservation opening on day 1), but I haven’t heard a peep from GM.

    Cybertruck is almost sold out for 2024. Reservation conversion rate very encouraging (per Q4 2023 earnings call)

    Great discussion on production versus reservation estimates. To add to the information on tranches of reservations, I have an email from Tesla that referred to my January 9, 2020 RN1132xxx number as an “Early Cybertruck reservation”. Based on this discussion, it’s anyone’s guess if that...

    Florida VIN Just Assigned! Non Employee

    No, not yet. I waited until early January 2020 to reserve. I’m RN11321xxx, and waiting for the regular AWD. So excited for you very early reservation people to finally get your trucks! It’s been a long road. Be sure to post pictures!

    How do you jumpstart an ICE vehicle from a Tesla?

    Is wrapping our only option? Patina

    Any corrosion on DeLoreans is a function of whether they were subjected to a corrosive environment and how they were stored, rather than age. This shop is in New York where they have daily driver DeLoreans subjected to the winter salt for many years. Here is my 1981 DeLorean, which was cared...
